Recruiting Reset: Drinkwitz’s Trenches Project Grows with Khalief Canty Jr.

While Eliah Drinkwitz and Mizzou football have faced challenges recruiting the 2026 class, it’s clear Drinkwitz is focused on building a towering lineup — adding yet another 6’5 prospect to an already tall group.

Three-star offensive lineman Khalief Canty Jr. made his pledge to Missouri and became the first offensive lineman to commit to the Tigers’ 2026 class. Since then, Mizzou has added Brandon Anderson and Braylon Ellison to bolster its offensive line for the future.

Canty announced his decision on June 24th through his Instagram account and became the sixth Tiger to commit to the class.
